Good, not great hiking pants

These hiking pants are great if you are tired of the zip off legs that come with most lightweight hiking pants, plus they are more fitted (slim) so can also be worn for other outings and still look presentable. I've never used the zip off feature while on backpacks or day hikes so decided to give these a try. Live in the high Sierra and use these mostly for summer day hikes (12 miles or less - moderate to strenuous.) Haven't used them yet on my semi-annual 5 day backpacks in similar terrain, so can't speak to that yet. I am disappointed that I ordered a 30 inch inseam and they were a full 2 inches longer than stated. Need to hem which is a pain but not worth the trouble to send them back plus the pants fit well otherwise. I've bought Columbia SPF hiking pants for many years and each time I get a new pair, the number of the pockets and the closure on them seem to get skimpier. There are narrow Velcro tabs on these pockets which means things can fall out easily. It would be better to have zippers or full Velcro tabs across the entire pocket. Only one, small to medium sized zippered pocket on the front left leg. I would have rated these pants 4 star if not for the pocket issues and incorrectly advertised inseam length. Would recommend with cautions . . .
